Rivers. The additions to area 6 are for the most part extensions 

 from area 4. Coming to area 8 we find that nearly all the addi- 

 tional species are common to area 1 (Northern Territory proper) 

 or in a smaller degree to area 7 (Central Australia), thus further 

 supporting the theory that area 8 is the final extension westward 

 of area 2 (North Queensland) through area 1 ; and that those birds 

 common to areas 8 and 9 are also common to areas 7 and 9, the 

 two latter forming the central route for the expansion from area 

 3. The additions to area 9 are about one-half land birds, and 

 the rest principally wandering water birds, and it will be noticed 

 that the land birds are mostly immigrants from areas 6 and 7 

 rather than from area 8. 



I append lists of the different species numbered to correspond 

 with " A Key to the Birds of Australia and Tasmania," arranged 

 under their respective areas, and I gratefully acknowledge 

 the assistance given me by Mr. Bernard Woodward, Director of 

 the Perth Museum, W.A., who also supplied most of the localities 

 mentioned under area 9.
